Abstract
Dental prostheses labeled with the patient’s name and further unique identifiers such as gender, phone number, address, job, and national identity number may play an important role in the forensic scenario. Marking dentures has been measured as a vital part of forensic dentistry, although no standardized method is followed. This chapter reviews the various methods of labeling dentures and their use in forensic odontology.
